British actor Andrew Lincoln has mastered his southern drawl to play Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead for seven full seasons. As an archetypal hero, Rick hit his lowest point when he met Negan at the end of Season 6 for the zombie series.

“This is how I want Rick to die,” said Andrew Lincoln. “We’re going through a desert somewhere and I jump off the bus. In a very heroic act, Rick jumps off. Carl is still alive. Maybe Caaaarrrrllll (Carl) is the last thing I say,” jokes the actor.

Lincoln makes sure to enunciate Carl’s name, as it’s a common joke with fans.

“I’m dying, on my own,” said the actor. “Just waiting to die. I wait and I patch up and a day passes. I’m a survivalist. Anyway, I patch myself up—I don’t die. Final shot is: Holy sh*t, maybe I’m the cure.”

“Herd of zombies coming. Rick gets up, follows the tracks to go see Caaaarrrrllll. High shot. The herd comes towards him and they separate. He walks through and boom, right?”

Lincoln also revealed that he had already told Greg Nicotero the idea and the director really liked it. Nicotero actually told him it was a good idea that he should keep to himself until the show came to an end.

Andrew Lincoln clearly wanted to share the idea with fans. His ideas does seem like a possibility, but it’s likely that Robert Kirkman already has a great idea in mind for the finale of the epic series.
